Reston, VA – November 13, 2017 – ThreatQuotient™, a trusted threat intelligence platform innovator, today announced it has completed a Series C round, securing $30 million in new financing led by Adams Street Partners. Strategic partners Cisco Investments and NTT DOCOMO Ventures, Inc. (NYSE: DCM) join existing investor New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and growth capital partner Silicon Valley Bank.

This strategic funding and leadership addition will position ThreatQuotient to accelerate growth and customer acquisition.

ThreatQuotient continues to address the cybersecurity industry’s increasing demand for a threat intelligence platform focused on understanding and anticipating threats, strengthening defenses and accelerating security operations globally.
“Organizations today are working harder than ever to understand and prioritize threat intelligence. Most realize a platform is needed and ThreatQuotient is a market leader delivering the industry’s best solution,” said Wang. “Adams Street Partners is excited to partner with ThreatQuotient as they innovate on their unique approach to transforming security operations. I am especially excited to join their board of directors as they gain impressive market traction.”
Rob Salvagno, vice president of Cisco Corporate Development adds, “As threats increase and data sets grow in volume and complexity, so too does the job of SOC operators. Cisco believes that a threat intelligence platform is critical for making SOC operations and workflows more efficient, especially through deep integrations with other key components of the security ecosystem.”
